Globally, plagiarism is a crime, but the fear of being thrown into jail for fraud seem not to scare some Ghanaians – not even those who are vying for political positions

Earlier today, a poster of Moses Karma, a New Democratic Congress (NDC) MP aspirant for Bibiani Anhwiaso Bekwai District, surfaced online on various social media platforms.
